Studies sought for meta-analysis on presence
We are currently gathering candidate studies for a meta-analysis examining the effect of immersive virtual reality technology on self-reported presence. We are investigating the effect of relative high vs. low immersive levels as operationalized across various hardware and software variables.
The studies we are including either manipulate overall levels of immersion (e.g., head-mounted display vs. mental simulation, CAVE environment vs. desktop monitor, etc.) or the levels of a particular immersive system component (e.g., different fields of view, stereoscopic vs. monoscopic visuals, stereo vs. mono audio, different update rates, etc..). A list of most of the studies already gathered can be found here:
